New Hotels Show Hospitality Sector Growth

Proof that the Greater Lansing hospitality community is responding to growing visitation trends is showing all over town as the area welcomes five new hotels into the region. Two are currently under construction, three have been green-lighted for development. The new lodging properties, two in East Lansing, one in Delta Township, one in Okemos and another in Lansing Township near Eastwood Towne Center, will bring over 600 new guest rooms to the community.

"When new hotel properties come into the community it not only adds more available guest rooms for visitors it brings in brand new, top-rated hotel product with modern amenities which is desirable for business and leisure travelers alike," said Jack Schripsema, President and CEO of the Greater Lansing CVB. "We look forward to partnering with these new properties to keep the tourism trend in Greater Lansing on the upward trend we've been enjoying."
